The results are near real time and display both active and inactive tickets. This feature is available for all users (including non-English users) to switch on or off and see which version works best for them.

Note: The advanced global search is also known as Elastic Search.

By default, the enhanced global search is enabled. To disable enhanced global search, click SWITCH BACK in the top-right corner of the page.

Advanced Global Search/Elastic Search Parameters

The following advanced search parameters are supported:

Question Mark (?)

Question mark is used to match a single character in a specific position of the search query. For example, searching for D600?, returns results that contain D600 followed by any single character such as D6001, D6009, and D600A.

Asterisk (*)

Asterisk is used to match any number of characters in the search query. For example, searching for print* would return results that contain print followed by any number of characters such as print, printers, and printing.

OR

Using Advanced Global Search, OR is used to match any one search criteria or both. For example, while searching for tickets that are related to print, network, or both, use print OR network in the search text box. The option OR is case-sensitive.

Note: Using Global Search, instead of OR you can use space while searching for tickets, to match any one search criteria or both. For example, while searching for tickets that are related to print, network, or both, you can type print network in the search text box.

AND

AND is used to match the search criteria. For example, while searching for tickets that are related to print and network, use print AND network in the search. The option AND is case-sensitive.

Double quote (" ")

Double quote is used to search for the exact phrase in the double quotes. For example, while searching for tickets that have a phrase network printer, use "network printer" in the search. The search parameter that you use in double quote is case-sensitive and results are displayed accordingly.

You can use attributes in the search text box to refine the results. The format for applying the attribute search is attribute_name:search_term. For example, to search tickets with priority medium, the format is ticket_priority:Medium. The attribute-based search inputs are case-sensitive.

Custom Attribute

You can search tickets using custom attribute. The format for typing the custom attribute in the search text box is -  custom_attributes.name:"DTS Name" AND custom_attributes.value:"DTS"

The search based on custom attributes is case-sensitive.
